most probably between southamerica and antartica.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

See that actually does narrow it down

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 9 points 3 days ago

Might as well just write it's north of south

Are kids today so Vine-brained they don't understand headline syntax? The Weddell Sea just north of Antarctica.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Headline syntax sucks.

[–] meeeeetch@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If you leave Antarctica, you're heading north. Is it North of Antarctica toward Australia, South Africa, Patagonia or some other northerly direction from Antarctica?

That's the ambiguity inherent to the headline.

Where else would you succinctly say the Weddell sea is?

[–] meeeeetch@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

East of the Antarctic peninsula.

Anyplace off the coast of Antarctica is, by definition, north of it. But the Weddell Sea is a specific area of the Southern Ocean.

But they aren't wrong

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'll have to use that one.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Don't be too hard on them, they're new.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

TBF it's also south of the Arctic Ocean.

They must be thinking in Mercator map instead of Globe.
